#Sky's on hold simply because bigger community=more likely others have their own names (ex: Luxid) and i simply haven't asked around yet /D

also different sort of update in relation to tmbm
I took a long break from the conlang stuff and trying to work out race names for the people in sky cotl, abzu, and pathless because I got really demotivated due to the fact that my audio processor disorder was a bigger roadblock than i thought it be and when listening to the dialogue in pathless i couldn't parse the individual sounds and syllables very well.
And then my head was spinning 'round and 'round by all the language influences people caught onto/speculated about as i was doing research.
Then i realized i was probably thinking WAY too hard about all this.
And i ended up coming up with something that pleases me. Vokara (suggested by rythuliansoup) felt a bit too plain to me despite liking it since in game it just means 'people' BUT combining it with 'sa' (mother) like in 'sa shuva' (mother eagle) to make Savokara (mother's people) I think works well with the language/culture of the game :D The only thing I'm flipflopping about it is if I should add a letter or two to it like 'Savokaran' or 'Savokarash' for a little extra flair
(I then think i can work that in with Abzu but with more of the Greek/Sumerian/Egyptian angle since the art style of the images ingame is clearly influence by those real world ancient styles..)
thoughts?
